Talk to teenagers and you realize: they love their phones. We talked to a bunch of them on the National Day of Unplugging at Milken Community Schools. Many of them told us they are doing things like Snapchat, Instagram, texting, social media and talking to their friends.

But, it turns out, adults are pretty much the same way.

"If you look around, you’ll see people just completely consumed by devices - just looking down and not taking in the world," said Kim Anenberg Cavallo, the creator of a new app called Lilspace.

Cavallo says she was basically the same way - that's why she started an app to help. Lilspace is an app that urges you to disconnect through the use of a timer tied to a cause - the longer you stay off your phone, the more rewards you can rack up.

"We’re really looking for ways to motivate people to get a little space," explained Cavallo.

Lilspace encourages people to put their phone away during dinner, workouts, quality time with the kids and more. The app gets businesses to donate to causes you care about in exchange for your time.
